Quick bit of housekeeping: I recently found out the stuff that I did for TheScore's Getting Blanked blog back in 2012-13 has gone offline, so I put all of those infographics on this site and fixed the links. It was a great time for me. I very much enjoyed being hired to do regular infographics, and it was fun to look back at the stuff I did. That, of course, is of no interest to you, but just in case you have tried to look at some of those recently, they are back online now. Thanks.

It seems like at least once a season, there will be a bevy of tedious articles where people flap their hands and faint like ladies in Victorian novels about the length of baseball games and how that means people will soon stop going to games and watching on the television. Baseball is long and boring, they say, something has to change! I say NO! It's too short and not boring enough MLB is not doing enough to stop people watching! This is my 20-point plan for making baseball better.

For this week's NotGraphs post, I took images from images embedded in spam emails that I received last week and made baseball cards for them.

HERMOSILLO STORIESEric Nusbaum and I went to Hermosillo to watch the 2013 Caribbean Series. We wrote and drew about it for Sports on Earth. And, in doing so, produced some other content, too, so I've gathered all the links together, in case you wanna see everything that we did.

LEGO BALLPLAYERS
Exactly what the title sounds like: Lego representations of baseball players. everything that we did.
